Triharder finished at 5.20 this morning. Updates on their site
Mossy has done a cracking job on reports, thank you sir!
Dilbert as official #TriHarderAR photographer you're hired!!
We laughed, cried and cried laughing through 68.5 hours of racing through some stunning locations, standing tall on mountains and crawling through ditches.
An awesome job done by all the Irish teams who stood shoulder to shoulder with the best of European racers and put it up to them.
Huge kudos to Enduro & Co on their podium place. Delighted for you guys.
LGK I didn't get to meet you, great going.
Neady - 1st time out and you guys rocked it!!
Mike, Kate, Shane & myself are over the moon. We finished 29th overall and 6th Irish team home.
Thanks to each one of you for all the messages of support. Going to take some time for this to settle in.0 -

Dilbert it was so lovely to see you before the coasteering
We finished 38th, without injury and very happy adventurers. It was tough at times, the hike a bike sections nearly broke me both mentally and physically but I loved the hike (without the blinking bike) in the Galtees The best thing about it though was we had such a laugh especially when we met random people asking what we were up to - they could not wrap their heads around it at all.
It was an epic adventure, I did so many things for the first time (coasteering & swimming in open water) and we learned so much as a team. I had no idea what sleep deprivation would do to a person, the hallucinations were hilarious though (castles, dancing hikers, vans, dinosaurs) and the footpaths I slept on were the most welcome of beds.
Thank you all for the messages of support and for all the advice throughout the year. Well done to Mike, Sean, Kate and Shane, ye put in an epic performance and got a well deserved top 20 position.
Today is a day of ups and downs, I'm still trying to compute everything we did, the highs and lows and process the distance we covered. After getting all the gear washed and the bike sorted, I've my feet up resting my sore feet and swelled calves but thankfully there's no lasting injuries.
Oryx I didn't do the 25ft jump off the cliff, we lost 250 points because of it unfortunately. I was so happy to have got through the swim without having a panic attack that I couldn't risk doing that jump and screwing it all up.
I'll start the race report during the week when I've figured it all out in my head, mind you, it probably won't be in sequence because I can't remember exactly went where
We started off the race asking each other who's idea this was but we finished it asking, what's next that pretty much sums it up 0 -

Brilliant event. I don't know how I will pen a report but I will.
Well done Neady and the Arses great to meet you again and well done on finishing ranked
Enduro huge congrats and cheers for stopping over. Sounds like Get No Sleep had some race. You were like the kid that got the sweets Big kudos for putting it up to the European top teams that came over.
The event stepped up a big notch to host the AR Euro Series final.
As for #TriHarderAR, well we had a ball and I'm very proud of the team and how we stepped up a notch this year. It was all about learning again. Applying last year's lessons to bring out an improved performance. This year we executed our plan, had a ball of fun, epic highs and some very specific lows. We pulled together as as team though and finished strong passing other teams.
The volunteers are selfless wonderful people. AR, though, is an enter if you dare, thing... 0 -
